MKTDC's Children Centre is the heart of our community work. Long before our athletes win medals, they were children from orphanages, single-parent homes, and households where a daily meal was not guaranteed. The Children Centre is where that cycle is broken.
What Your Support Provides
Hot meals — githeri, ugali, fresh vegetables — served daily to children who would otherwise go hungry. School fees, uniforms, books, and exam registration for primary and secondary pupils. Safe accommodation in homes managed by former MKTDC runners. Medical check-ups and counselling. And, for the ones who show talent on the track, a clear pathway from the children's compound to the senior training camp.
Meet the Children
We share regular updates — training mornings, school visits, mealtimes, prize-giving days — on the MKTDC YouTube channel. If you've ever wondered who is on the other end of your donation, watch the kids you support.
Become a Supporter
Every supporter — whether sponsoring a single child's school year, donating equipment, or contributing to the kitchen — keeps the centre running. Reach out via our contact page to begin sponsoring a child, funding a meal programme, or visiting the centre in person.
